Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $6,650,000 over two years to FAR.AI to support FAR.Futures, an initiative that consists of events, outreach activities, and other programs aimed at helping to build and coordinate the fields of AI safety research and governance. FAR.AI is a nonprofit that works to accelerate research agendas to ensure AI systems are more trustworthy and beneficial to society.
This follows Open Philanthropy’s April 2024 support and falls within its focus area of Global Catastrophic Risks Capacity Building.
